Plant Care Tips

One of the most prolific blooming orchid varieties, Phalaenopsis also known as ‘Moth Orchids’ bring a vibrant blossom to any home. A great first step into the wonderful world of orchids. When watering, we recommend against the classic ice cube method. Instead, soak the roots in water for 5 minutes, and allow to drain fully. When repotting, use our Orchid bark mix, as orchids prefer a looser medium than traditional soil.

Origin

Phalaenopsis orchids can be found across southeast Asia, China, India and Australia. The majority of which are found in the hot and humid regions of Indonesia and the Philippines.
